Going Green
Overwhelming it sure was, but I for one, still loved this banana leaf print kaftan-esque top on Shobhaa. Loved the addition of the drop necklace and earrings.

T-e-r-r-i-b-l-e. Who’s (ugly) curtain was stolen to make this. She doesn’t even display the confidence necessary to pull this off.
This one looks so uncomfy to me… what happens to her right hand :P… not liking the dress, but loved the way Ms De looks so confident and radiant
Its a banana tree…its Shobaa De. Seriously? Does she not have a mirror? Critical daughters?
lol@ critical daughters
She is totally rocking the look…not too bad for a 60 something!!
no i didn’t like dis look, she is looking as if she has draped a bed sheet thouhg i love d color
Can serve some aviayal on that …..
LOL!
ya, this dress is just screaming out for some masala dosa with sambhar and chutney.
Hahahah This ones the best!!!!
Lol, Padma! yelai saapaad, here i come!
LOL !!!!! Hillarious !!
I think the fabric print is nice and different but surely not suitable as a kaftan..
but kudos to shoba for looking confident in it.
She went to a south indian wedding, at lunch some sambar fell on her saree and she had to change. Before the hosts could offer her a saree, she marches into the kitchen, grabs a banana leaf and walks out jubilant, as the crowd stares on open-mouthed! Talk about improvisation!
ROFL!!!!!
You girls don’t wanna be in the bad (nasty) books of Mrs. De right? fair enough. Her audacious lashings aren’t for the faint hearted 😀
To me, this is real, bloody bad.
That was exactly my first thought too…P&P dont want to upset Ms De!
You guys want us to believe that YOU actually LIKE this outfit??? Its a big printed sack. For god’s sake, you cant see the woman’s arms – its a big WTHEYYY!!!
I Tht the same..
Spot on, @Missy! Not good to anger her….
LOL!
And people accuse you of being biased towards Sonam 😛
Love how you proved them wrong PnP 😀
Everyone has a right to their own opinion, stop bashing P&P.
I personally don’t like the dress either but that doesn’t mean we make others hate it as well. Let’s just agree to disagree.
This print might work on a quirky umbrella or a gazebo but as a garment its plain awful.. and those accessories look like plastic tassles. This is what a failed project runway outfit looks like.
I never thought, it would look fabulous as an umbrella on a summer beach.
Plain ol’ weird! She looks double her actual size!
Missy, I think you are absolutely right! 😀
Horrible dress, but I guess they have to face her bitchy comments if they say anything bad
hahaha that was my initial thought too, because this looks like a 4 year old’s halloween costume gone bad. WTHEYY for sure!!!
looks like a tent to me.
looks like a tent in the amazon jungle .
it’s awful……the print may have worked in a dress avatar maybe…..but as a kaftan,it looks like a curtain.
Drooling over neck necklace though! ow awesome is that!!
Yipes! This woman is usually well dressed – what went wrong here? Table cloth, shower curtain, bed-sheet – which one of these did she grab?
She looks like a paan..
LOL! 🙂
OMG..are you kidding P&P….u surely are…its a tent!! where is her right hand? ..WTHEYYY for me…looks like a costume …for a stage show….where she plays a banana tree!
where did the right hand go ? makes the dress look very incomplete…i’m surprised u guys liked it…its a very badly made dress
Talk about an ass-kissing! This dress is terrible and yet, the gals like it.
The print and colour are good, but seriously, who walks out of the house like this????
what on the earth was S.De thinking when she chose this…she is the one to criticize every one and she ended up wearing such tacky outfit.
suck up.
She looks hideous. For someone who is so critical of others, Ms. De surely doesn’t carry a mirror for herself.
one word – tent!
still loved?? whats xctly there to love?? wtheyy!!
i know i am curious to know.
fuglayyyyy
I am sorry P&P
i under any circumstance CANNOT believe that you guys ‘like’ this outfit form any angle.
its sad if all this starts happening on this blog…cause thats the one difference i thought this blog had.
might as well wear a curtain
Awful. Overall.
Its strange to see this outfit on Ms. De who used to criticise people for wearing Salwar Kameezs instead of Saris because she felt that they looked like tents.
She had once written a long diatribe in TOI against people who did not wear the sensuous Sari and opted for Salwar Kameezs because it hid their imperfect bodies yada yada yada…
WTHey for me….
Yes, I remember that article, @Shubha! and I also remember getting pissed – how long had it been that Ms De had caught a local in the morning rush? Or just had an ordinary, busy life where the sari was sooo impractical as compared to the less-fussy salwar kameez? Step out of your little ivory tower, Ms De…..
I know what u mean by saree being impractical…but i know tons of women who live in sarees and prefer it more than suit (i heard some say it is airy in the right places i.e like a skirt on the legs and open waist)..
So we cannot just say saree is impractical..its probably that we are just not used it…
Sure, there are thousands of women who live in sarees and swear by it – but the article was critical of middle-class women who had switched to salwars. You should not be critical of people who do not have access to the same resources that you do. How many working women have the time, energy or money to work on their bodies and sizzle in a saree? So, if they find it easier to ‘hide’ in a salwar kameez, so what?
Sorry, will now get off my soap-box… 🙂
Ha, ha, hope no parsis lay her on the wedding dinner table to lay the food on her!!!
WTHeyyyyyy
Oh my eyes! Oh my eyes! this is a royal WTHeyyyy…
She looks 60 months pregnant 🙂
fit for the forest outing
i know the 80’s were primetime for her, but, she needs to move out of that time zone.
she’s so passe, i am surprised people think she is still relevant enough to be scared of. a pulp fiction author is hardly qualified to critique others’ dressing. especially, one that is dressed like this!
OMG!OMG!!! my eyes!!!who made this?and she bought it? was it gifted?OMG!!!
I am at sea as what to love here ?? The Banana leaf bean bag??
It looks like she grabbed the bed sheets from a themed resort hotel room, cut a hole through it and put it on.
Well, after giving it some thought, are you guys expecting an invite from Sobha/her social circle to some fab social do?
Cuz the article borders on buttering…..
It’s funny to read the comments about social circles and buttering.
Neither do we live in Mumbai nor would ever run into these folks, so the question of buttering or trying to get into their social circle can never come into play.
As for the tunic, we did mention it was overwhelming but that aside we liked the print and thought she looked radiant. We are allowed our likes and dislikes, aren’t we?
We’d rather see an oversized top than a two inches too short dress any day.
Yes, but imagine if Amrita Rao had worn it, would you have left it at ‘overwhelming’ 🙂
even if this was a maternity dress… this is possibly the most hideous outfit to date! some crazy joke in the name of fashion!
gosh guys..really? i am trying to see what ur seeing…but no, its still ugly. I mean its like a banana tree is slowly swallowing her up, its already got her right arm.
hmm i am in the minority but i actually like this on her. for once she is looking lovely. i just wish it was tailored properly that her arm was actually visible.
phew someone who mirrors my thoughts finally
